#PancakeDay Round-Up – 11 Pancakes for you to relish

Presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail.com. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!).

On the occasion of Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!). Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of the Lent fasting period. Pancake Day is also called Mardi Gras in some other places (New Orleans, for example) which is French for Fat Tuesday 🙂 So here’s to fattening up with pancakes (or not, as we have quite some healthy options for you here).

Presenting the 11 Pancakes – sweet, savoury, desi, videsi!

Breakfast pancakes

Since my last post, I've been in Pondicherry, Chennai and then Goa. It was a wonderful last week of 2006 and ushering the new year in Goa was some experience. The hustle bustle and the excitement along with the calmness of the sea is something that must be experienced to be understood. The past week

Recipe for Eggless Triple Blueberry Pancakes

When I was a kid, my favourite fruit was Nagpur oranges. When in season, my grandfather would buy them by the dozens and I could just eat them non-stop. While my 6 year old loves oranges, his current favourite fruit is…wait for it…blueberries! Crazy right? I stock up on the frozen variety, so he

Eggless Buckwheat Crepes : Health on a plate

Last Saturday, I looked at my dinner plate and I felt "Damn, it should be illegal to eat this healthy on a Saturday night." Yes it was so good that it was bad. And we were watching a brilliant brilliant series to add all the necessary wickedness and spice to this healthy plate. You may think food bl

Besan Cheela stuffed with Paneer Bhurji

If you are from the South of Vindhyas, cheela / chila is not a much heard of term. It is a staple North Indian breakfast dish. To put it in simple terms, it is like an instant dosa made using besan. However unlike adai, which is a lentil based dosa preparation, cheelas are much thinner and crepe lik

Savoury pancakes with mushrooms and onions

Who doesn't like mildly sweet spongy pancakes all dripping with maple syrup? There weren't many pancake-serving places in Mumbai earlier so my first brunch with a stack o' pancakes was in at the IHOP in Rochester, NY. My favourite being the multigrain pancakes, which had the grainy bits within and a

Savoury multigrain yeast pancakes

These savoury pancakes make for a quick breakfast or dinner. The key ingredient here which isn't usually used in pancakes results in soft fluffy pancakes. And that does away with the need for eggs, milk or baking powder.

4 Lentil Pancake ( Paruppu Adai )

Traditionally Adai (South Indian Lentil Pancake ) is made with a mixture of lentils in a certain proportion. This is my own version. Sometimes, you have a little bit of all dals remaining in your pantry, then this is the best way to clean up all those bottles. You have soak the dals and then grind

Onion Rava Dosai with Spicy Tomato Chutney

Thinking about calories is taboo on weekends, so says me! After a extremely fulfilling Asian dinner** last night at our favourite Lemongrass Cafe – Bandra, we wanted to continue the good food times into Sunday morning. And what better way to let the good times roll than with super crisp dosais! Dosa

  • #latergram The about to go on a vacation excitement (okay, I never show mad excitement on my face no matter how excited I may be) . My standard flight wear is a comfy black basic t shirt, the super light and soft pants from Zara and a stole as protection against the Arctic level temperatures some flights prefer to keep the cabin at. This time, due to our travel to Lisbon and reaching there late evening, I kept a jacket on hand in case the temperatures went low. As for shoes, it’s usually a pair of flats / slip ons or sneakers. Never ever heels or strappy sandals. There’s a reason for all of this - my friend @rashpilot320 a pilot had done a superb thread on twitter regarding this. I shall try and share it in stories. . Bought this faux leather jacket from Bengaluru airport - impulse purchase but I think I'll be using it regularly on travels and if it does get cold here during winter evenings. It's from @onlyindia and they had a few nice colours but I stuck to my usual favourite. Swipe to see a close up of the jacket. . What’s your go-to flight wear? Do share :)

  • There’s a LOT of uphill and downhill walking in #Lisbon - it is after all known as the city of 7 hills. If you ever visit this city, forget about heels and any fancy sandals or flip flops. Sneakers are your best friend. I loved that my white sneakers did double duty for all that day time trekking as well as evening fine dining. Also, when you’re in Lisbon, you can’t help but admire the graffiti which covers nearly every single space. It borders on crazy when you see ATM screens and station names sprayed with paint 🤯 but that’s how it is here :) . To see all my posts from Lisbon, click on #stlisbon

  • #ad| If there's one thing in my cooking repertoire I'm proud of, it is the perfect phulka - thin, neat circle and fully fluffed up. There is no rocket science here, but just two things - good quality atta and skill (this of course needs a fair bit of practice). 🍃 Here are 7 tips for making a perfectly good phulka: 1. #AsliPhulkeWalaAtta from @fortune.foods 2. Just enough water to make a soft and smooth dough. Too less water and the rotis wont turn out soft. Too much water and you'll have a tough time rolling them out 3. Rest the dough for 30 minutes 4. Roll each portion out such that it is of uniform thickness throughout - take care that you don't thin out the centre and keep the edges thick.  5. Cooking it on one side for just enough time until you see some air bubbles on the surface, flip over and cook this side for slightly longer 6. Flip over the first side on the flame directly until it puffs up and remove it from the flame 7. Keep rotis wrapped in a muslin cloth and keep warm inside an insulated case . Do you have a tip for making the softest rotis? {#sponsored content}
  • It’s #WorldFoodDay and here are the 5 things I wish we incorporated into our lives. 🍃1. Support local farmers - food tastes better due to lesser transit and storage, more sustainable and keeps them in business. 🍃2. Learn to cook simple food at home. Ordering in on a regular basis contributes to increased emissions from the transportation, increased plastic waste and is definitely not good for health in the long run. 🍃3. Zero food waste - Buy just enough, cook just enough and contribute to the hungry or community fridges in case of excess food. In a country where 19.4 Crore people go hungry each year, it is criminal to waste food. See next tip too. 🍃4. Reuse leftovers - Indian cuisine is anyway full of these tricks like phodni chapati, idli upma, rice varieties and dal parathas. 🍃5. Grow whatever little food you can in your home. A window sill can support a few herbs, chillies and tomatoes. There’s great pride in growing your grub, however small a step that might be. . What’s the one thing that you would recommend on #worldfoodday? . That’s me enjoying a Navratra Thali when we were traveling in Ludhiana earlier this month. PC: @ritcha
  • What was a most appealing dinner at a vegetarian restaurant in Lisbon @arkherestaurante - beautiful and delicious dishes conceptualized by chef @joaord1984 . I did peek into the kitchen to compliment him and say hello which is how I got his Instagram handle :) . Every dish brought us an unusual yet stunning presentation and new flavours - husband, son and I, we all loved the food and the minimalistic decor. The portions are kinda small, just enough to serve one person and we ordered multiple dishes between the three of us. 2 out of the 4 appetisers and 3 of the 4 mains were tried and yet it was light enough for us to trek back to our @airbnb a few (uphill) streets away. . The chocolate fondant 70% was indeed a show stopper which is which it's the cover of this post ♥️ . We read up some reviews and saw that even those who are not vegan / Vegetarian raving about the place and they were not wrong at all :) check out the lovely minimal decor with plants! .
